The Shepherd's Code

Darkness. Water. Secrets. An ancient chamber holds more than history. When the entrance collapses and the water starts to rise, Grant Colson and Luis Fontaine must fight the dark and unlock the code before they're lost forever. --- A sacred sanctuary. A relic that shouldn't exist. A silence finally broken. Dispatched to the Basque mountains of northern Spain, SERA agents Grant Colson and Luis Fontaine uncover more than old stone and water damage. Beneath the Arantzazu Sanctuary lies something sealed. It's a place that's forgotten, protected, and never meant to surface. But the past doesn't stay buried. And what they uncover may expose what Spain's brutal Franco regime wiped from history. In a place carved to remember, the most dangerous secrets are the ones that survived. Set in the Basque mountains of northern Spain, beneath the Arantzazu Sanctuary in the Pyrenees, this fast-read thriller roots itself in a land where silence and memory collide. It delivers a suppressed history thriller, environmental peril, and a strained loyalty test where the weak don't walk away. Includes historical notes and field context for readers who want to go deeper into the real-world events behind the mission.
